<p>The present invention relates to applicators for inserting objects into body cavities, and to methods for making the same. The applicators are particularly useful for inserting catamenial and prophylactic devices into a vaginal canal. The applicators comprise a tubular insertion member and a retrofitted gripping member. The gripping member comprises a gripping sheet which superposes upon itself about the insertion member multiple times and provides resistance to movement of a user's manual digit in response to longitudinal forces on the tubular insertion member.</p> |
